Representatives from three of Australia's major political parties are expected to detail their policies on open source, Linux and open standards at an industry group conference early next month.
The Australian Unix and Open Systems User Group (AUUG) has come out swinging after conceding its membership is in decline, announcing significant increases in sponsorship and registrations for its annual national conference next month.
The Australian Unix Users Group and Linux Australia have joined forces to hold a conference on using open source software in government, to coincide with Linux.conf.au, the national Linux conference.
The OS manufactuer's battle for market share has narrowed down to a hand-to-hand duel between Linux and Microsoft, according to one local Linux executive.
An explosion in e-business will raise the popularity of Linux exponentially, according to developers working with the operating system. With Linux gaining respect as a stable working environment, but still lacking well-branded applications, marketeers hope to use Internet-based business as a launch pad for the system.
